I had a really tough time this year finding cocktail dresses to wear during the holidays. Every time I found one I loved, my size was sold out. I had terrible luck this year. Finally, I gave up and decided to try out Rent the Runway, a company that rents out high end designer clothing. I hesitantly signed up not really knowing what to expect, but just the thought of getting my paws on one of those Herve Leger dresses was enough for me to take the plunge. And I was not disappointed.
Since I could rent a dress for $25 with every dress I rented at full price, of course I decided to try out two different Herve Leger dresses. I was so excited when they were delivered to my door. I had so much fun wearing them. I told the Murph I wanted one if I could ever grab one I like on sale. I thought I would like the one shoulder cyclone dress the best, but the winner was the black uncontrollable dress. If I can find that one deeply discounted, it will be mine!
Since the deal was if you rent one dress, you can get another dress for $25, I rented two more dresses. This one by Milly is the one I ended up wearing to my own Christmas party. I love the sparkle and my Jimmy Choo's were perfect with the dress. I rented a gold Trina Turk dress as well, but it didn't go with the Jimmy Choo shoes as well so I chose the Milly dress. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to wear the Trina Turk dress before I had to send it back to Rent the Runway. Four days is just not long enough!

Rent The Runway. All shoes and other jewelry are mine.
I highly recommend renting if you want a high end designer dress for a special occasion where you will only wear the dress once or you can't afford to spend $1,000 on a dress. I will say it is really hard sending them back if you rent one you really love. I wanted to keep all of these!
So many dresses, so little time..
ReplyDeleteRenting also seems a smart way to test drive before committing to the purchase.
Yes it is but now I just want one of those Herve Leger dresses even more! :)
DeleteHoly smokes, you look sizzling hot in your holiday frocks! And you've got to have the best taste in shoes- both pumps and sandals are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bella! Those shoes are my favorites!
DeleteThose shoes look as good as your smokin' figure!
